So i hope that this is the case.
Devs allowing us to buy qubits with irl money.
you mean after reset? i guess… otherwise they would have tor efund all of us lol
Im meaning “our launch”… not official launch.
Steggs said they have talked about it, but nothing official yet
ahh so once reset happens in the pre-times… yeh fair enough 
on testserver i was hoping we had a 2wide no plot zone around us but ya can still plot just beside other plots just the anexing is dificult swedes house was only for the half part off our settlement whats kinda weird its a house so it should be seen as one piece
Hi @Buugi.
We do plan to enable Cubit purchases before launch - for exactly the reasons you list.
However, it’ll not be enabled initially - simply because we want to focus on one challenge at a time. The universe comes first, then we’ll move onto enabling the purchase. We obviously need to be super cautious especially when real money is involved.
Thx for answering.
I assume buying via steam wallet is available too when you test it?
Will there be a price list available somewhere soon so I can see if I need to attack the piggy bank with a hammer 
There was an information about, 1 Cent was 1 Qubit. Have a look in the forum search 
Edit:
NO OFFICIAL STATEMENT. My fault, sorry 
That’s good to know. It’ll make people of a variety of different income levels able to purchase them as they need them if they want to.
I tried looking but I couldn’t see any specific information from any Devs regarding the prices. Can you remember which thread it was in? I generally try and read virtually all the posts on the forum but I have to admit there has been quite a lot of them this week so I have some catching up to do still.
Uhm sorry I am maybe wrong, because it was no official statement. I will edit my answer to ensure noone is confused.
If this isn’t done right and a plot doesn’t cost a pretty decent amount of money you will have some backers that will not be happy at all because their plot bonuses will have gone up in smoke and instantly have no value compared to basic accounts with lots of money. I’m sure a lot of normal paid players won’t be happy either when some person just reserves a huge area because they were willing to put up $100 or more.
Of course we don’t know how much cubits will cost but at the 1c each someone mentioned that would only be 30c a plot. I’m not sure that is enough. Anyway that is an example and who knows.
I don’t think anyone will be happy at being level 5 or whatever and not be willing to spend money and then seeing tons or areas in the game that are already reserved because of someone that is willing to spend more money. That won’t make the game any more fun.
Also in the future of plots cost one price and then they they are raised some people won’t be happy. As mentioned they will have to be very careful and are really treading on areas that probably aren’t the best for a game release due to the polarization it creates.
I’m pretty sure this bonus is meant to apply for all plots you acquire 
Even with that, it misses the point. You’d still have to spend more money so your original backer benefit or plots really isn’t of the same value it was at original purchase. Probably just shouldn’t have ever existed since it was sold as a benefit at a specific price point. For that price point to be equal anyone else should have to be paying the same amount to have those many plots.
Good example - here you buy this house and all the items in it for 10,000. Then someone else gets to buy the house and all the same items for 3,000. I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t be happy. That is what will happen in the land of plot control in Boundless if plots are not pretty expensive.
I am not trying to start an argument or all the P2W stuff again, I am just providing a perspective in response that we should have this feature as soon as possible.
I don’t think it’s a valid argument. With your backer package you bought the ability to get x3 the amount of plots of any non-backer.
So you didn’t buy a house for 10k that they got for 3k. You bought the perk that your house will forever be three times as big as your neighbors if you pay the same amount for materials
Yes you can have your beliefs around it not being valid, but we have seen people that see it as valid. Either way it was not the context or message I was conveying in my points overall.
On my original points if pricing is not balanced and a set non changing thing - once we have people spending only a little bit of money to basically be getting 3, 4, 5, 10 times the plots that everyone else has with only a little bit of money spent. Then we will see how people feel.
Until then neither of us know what will happen but like mentioned it needs to be done carefully and we should be supporting that instead of asking for it to be rushed into release.
You need to admit, that I just made the best analogy ever 
My bad. Didn’t mean to come off as if it was official or anything. Just that if it’s affordable to as many people as possible it will generate a lot of revenue for the devs which translates into funding of other things, such as more features and expansionary ideas for the product including larger marketing budgets.
Lower price points that just sky rocket in sales through volume always out performs stuff at much higher price points. It’s just economics 101.
I will have to disagree with your analogy. I spend $5000 USD to be a backer and at level 50 I have 900 plots. That is all the money I have to spend on the game. If someone pays $40 for the game. Then levels to 50 they have 300 plots. If plots cost $1 USD per and they spend $1000 USD then they have more plots for a smaller investment. $5000 for 900 plots versus $1040 for 1300 plots.
Until both sides spend $6453 each they are not spending the same per plot. Past that point the price per plot is cheaper for the Oortian backer. Until that point every dollar spent on plots is cheaper per plot for the regular backer.
